The Qualls Family: Lois Abigail Qualls

The biggest (and cutest) change in our family in the past 2+ years is our fourth child, Lois Abigail.

Lois Abigail Qualls arrived on April 2, 2012. 8:11pm. 7lb 3.5oz. The fastest, easiest, most peaceful (Ben would disagree on that one) birth of the four. And she was born at home. It was a challenge finding a midwife who would be willing to deliver over an hour from her office location, but I finally found one who I not only really liked, but she actually used to live in TN, too! It was amazing how much we had in common. Technically, though, she didn't actually catch the baby, Lois was too quick for that. Her assistant was closer and got her gloves on faster.

Lois is the only baby to not be born with dark hair - but she did continue the trend of a head-full of hair. It started red and is now strawberry blonde.

Lois currently likes princesses, tu-tus and babies. She has begun talking much more and expressing herself. She has finally started saying 'Lucas' and 'Lois' - apparently she didn't want to try until she knew she could.
